Have you ever purchased something, or went to an eatery and upon finding out the price during payment, felt if you did not get the best deal? Introducing CREAM, a new smartphone application currently available for android devices, with iOS compatibility coming soon. What does it do? Read on below then.

Cream.io New Smartphone Application - Real Time Pricing Info

"Start making smarter purchasing decisions. Leverage the crowd by using CREAM to get real-time pricing information from others to determine if you are receiving a good deal or not"

BuzzElement, the creators of CREAM, have released the official beta version of their app on Google Play. CREAM is a consumer based mobile app and platform that leverages the crowd to help consumers determine if they are receiving a good deal or not on their purchase.

The app is positioning itself to be the “Waze for real-time pricing data.” CREAM users have the ability to leverage large groups of people to help them determine if they are receiving a good deal or not on their purchase.

Step #1: Snap a photo

So how exactly does it work? Well, CREAM app works bothways, meaning consumers like you and me do our part to post a photo of the item we want to purchase with its pricing to share with other CREAM users. It's rather simple, in four steps you are on your way to participate in a growing community who will give feedbacks and interact, discussing whether the purchase was a good deal or not.

Step#2: Enter the price of the item

From the CREAM application itself, the first step would be to snap a photo of the item we want to purchase, be it food items, gadgets, or virtually anything under the sun. The user interface is really intuitive, where in three steps you are already on your way to share your would be purchase with everyone.

Step #3: Share it with all the users in CREAM.io

Feedbacks are almost instantaneous as well, as other users can leave a feedback, or give a thumbs up, or thumbs down to the would-be purchase. This way, you will know if the deal is a good one or not, and subsequently decide whether to go ahead to buy it, or walk away. CREAM.io application gives us the option to give feedbacks on other users' purchases based on our past experience.

Now I've been using CREAM for the past one week or so since its launching on my Android based smartphone, the Sony Xperia Z1. Even though currently it is still in beta stage, the amount of users have been increasing daily, with more and more photos being shared and hundreds of feedbacks given.

A consumer would simply snap a picture of the item they were looking to buy, add the price and add a quick description of the item. It would then be instantly sent out to CREAM users where they could let the consumer know if they were receiving a good price on the item. Users could then select other places nearby with better deals and also recommend other options and items. The data would then be presented nicely in a chart graph for the CREAM user to analyze and decide if they should purchase the item.
